Peter Gabriel - Every Album Every Song

Graeme Scarfe

Sinossi

If Genesis, according to British comedian and fan Al Murray 'were the progressive rock band who progressed', then Peter Gabriel as a solo artist would be the member that progressed the most. Who would have thought that listening to early Genesis would eventually take the listener to Senegal, Armenia, South Africa and beyond, via the artistic endeavours of their former vocalist?This is a journey through Peter Gabriel's solo albums, his live recordings and soundtrack compositions. During his forty-year plus solo career, Gabriel has become a worldwide pop star via his early, self-titled albums and his seminal 1986 record So. He has had hit singles throughout his career, including the bucolic 'Solsbury Hill' in 1977 and the poignant 'Don't Give Up'. He also helped pioneer video creativity with the song 'Sledgehammer'. In doing so, he has reached beyond his progressive rock origins to achieve a level of popularity and respect that other musicians from that genre could only dream about. You may have heard many of these songs before, but there's always something new to be found by digging in the dirt. This is the perfect guide to his music for new listeners and long-term fans alike. What on earth is going on? In the words of the Burgermiester: 'I...will...find...out.'

Graeme Scarfe was born in the 1960s, educated in the comprehensive system in the 1970s and 1980s and graduated from Bournemouth University in the 1990s. He has worked as a music journalist, sound recordist and stand-up comedian. He also regularly lectures on Film. He wrote the original screenplay for the British Horror film Lighthouse and the comedy novel Seagulls on Speed which is available from www.seagullsonspeed.co.uk. He listens to an awful lot of music and attempts to play the guitar. A member of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain, he is married with two children and lives in Sussex, UK.

ABOUT THE FILM 
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a whimsical comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, set in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka during the early 20th century. The film follows the adventures of Monsieur Gustave H., an eccentric concierge, and his young protégé, Zero, at the once-grand hotel. When Gustave is accused of murder, the two embark on a thrilling journey involving stolen art, family feuds, and a series of misadventures. The film explores themes of loyalty, friendship, nostalgia, and the rise of fascism, blending humor with poignant moments, all delivered in Anderson's signature visual style and precise storytelling. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“The Grand Budapest Hotel became the highest-grossing independent movie of 2014 and also the highest-grossing limited-release movie of that year.” 
  
“The fictional country of Zubrowka, where the film takes place, was named after a Polish vodka liqueur called Zubrowka.” 
  
“Saoirse Ronan, who plays Agatha, explained in an interview that making the hotel's signature pastry, the Courtisane au Chocolat, wasn’t easy. Unlike most films, the food plays a major role and required actual baking.” 
  
“L'Air de Panache (The Air of Plume) was a fragrance created by a Parisian boutique for Wes Anderson to gift his actors and actresses.”

First Quarter

John Tuomey

In this reflective and enriching memoir, John Tuomey navigates the places and memories of his life over the scope of twenty-five years. First recognised for the urban regeneration of Dublin's Temple Bar, which included the construction of the Irish Film Institute, the National Photographic Archive and Gallery of Photography, his life in architecture led him to design social and cultural spaces such as the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, the Glucksman Gallery in UCC and the Victoria & Albert East Museum in London.

Imbued with many inter-textual references to poetry, drama and literature and written in limpid prose, this memoir is inherently literary in nature. Tuomey looks back to his early life where he was born in Tralee and lived in different counties around Ireland, from small towns to country landscapes, from schooldays in Dundalk to student activism at University College Dublin. He traces the pathways that led to his formation as an architect, reflecting on the many cultural and social influences on his life. He excels in capturing the social landscape of Dublin in the 1980s and pays particular attention to the many buildings and social hubs of the inner city. His transient years of moving from Dublin to London, and subsequently working in places like Nairobi and Milan, chronicle the international influences on his outlook. The key relationships in his life, including meeting his future wife, Sheila – a fellow student of architecture in UCD – and his pivotal employment by James Stirling in 1976, form the backbone of his personal and professional life.

Tuomey's expertise in his field is unsurpassed, with meticulous detail given to the finer aspects of design and architecture. His thoughts on the challenges facing the encroaching erasure of city life in Dublin are essential reading for anyone with an interest in the future of building in the city.
